(Bike is safe)

Marcus' jig is now packed and weighed, nominally 4Kg.

If you need it sent to you, PM your address.

Cheers,

Ian

Well I have made a second plug hole and what a magic jig it is thanks Bananaman (and Ian) . Now I have the hole it seems a shame to carbon half of it up with a short reach RE decompressor! I know I saw a UK supplied long reach 14mm decompressor a year or so ago I thought it was Venhill but if I look on their site I cant find it can anyone give me a UK supplier?

@vibrac
Could you please post a picture of the jig assuming you are not violating intellectual rights.
I need to do the same and it sprobaly cheaper to built a jig than paying postage from and to England.

cheers Bernd

Venhill call it a Universal 2 Stroke decompressor (Part number VDEC). I have been using one on my Rudge race bike.

If Banana Man says yes I will

Information should be moved on for everyone. Some folks onboard held info very close to their chest as it was power, me, I would show everyone how to do things all the way, the simple reason was if I trained them to know as much as me then I wouldn't get called out at ungodly hours.
Pass it on my handsome Vibrac. I can't as you have it. Just be prepared to send it onto the next person who asks, for it as it was designed / made nearly forty years ago to be used in a garden shed with just handtools.

Here is the magic jig you could do it all with a power drill
The final stepped drill (5th from the right) I did drill in a pillar drill using the H fixture to hold hole at 90 degrees
the extreme left group of parts/set I did not use.
apart from the facing bit 6th from the right its all done from the inside
I used my own 14mm tap

Well that Marcus fellow is quite something. Wish I could get him to visit my shop for a year or two. He could stand over me with a mallet and help put a sharp bend in my learning curve.
